Good size, nicely done, looks like it should be a good performer. I especially like the size of the handle, too many knives handles are too short for my hand. John

Thank you John, I appreciate the feedback.

My brother Jack is enormous, with hands to match whereas I am 5'8" with medium mitts... So if the handle works for both of us in testing, it makes it into our line up since the handle should be comfortable folks.

Any other feedback?

I like the general shape, and the grind looks useful. One thing that bugs me is the lanyard hole. I'd understand if it were completely exposed, or completely hidden, or maybe even half hidden, but having 1/6 of the hole covered by the handle scales just seems like it wasn't intentional to me. I'd also space the hole evenly between the two closest edges of the tang.

I would have to agree with you. After taking these shots, I did drill it out, buff it, then put the lanyard on the knife. I took more pictures, but unintentionally posted these ones. Good catch and totally fair feedback.
